Quick and dirty, and slightly tipsy, code.

Happy Christmas everyone!

Thanks to Eric and the team at Advent of Code, to @Ategon@programming.dev and @CameronDev@programming.dev for giving us somewhere to share and discuss our solutions, and to everyone here for the friendly and supportive community.

See you all next year!

A fun and small challenge. First read all locks, transpose their profile and count the #s (-1 for the full row). Then do the same for the keys.

Lastly find all keys for all locks that do not sum to more than 5 with their teeth:

val lockRegex = Regex("""#{5}(\r?\n[.#]{5}){6}""")
val keyRegex = Regex("""([.#]{5}\r?\n){6}#{5}""")

fun parseLocksAndKeys(inputFile: String): Pair<List<IntArray>, List<IntArray>> {
    val input = readResource(inputFile)
    val locks = lockRegex
        .findAll(input)
        .map {
            it
                .value
                .lines()
                .map { line -> line.toList() }
                .transpose()
                .map { line -> line.count { c -> c == '#' } - 1 }
                .toIntArray()
        }
        .toList()

    val keys = keyRegex
        .findAll(input)
        .map {
            it
                .value
                .lines()
                .map { line -> line.toList() }
                .transpose()
                .map { line -> line.count { c -> c == '#' } - 1 }
                .toIntArray()
        }
        .toList()

    return locks to keys
}

fun part1(inputFile: String): String {
    val (locks, keys) = parseLocksAndKeys(inputFile)

    val matches = locks.map { lock ->
        keys.filter { key ->
            for (i in lock.indices) {
                // Make sure the length of the key and lock do not exceed 5
                if (lock[i] + key[i] > 5) {
                    return@filter false

ah well this year ends with a simple ~12.5 ms solve and not too much of a brain teaser. Well at least I got around to solving all of the challenges.

Spent 10 minutes debugging my solution until I reread and found out they wanted the number of keys that fit, not the ones that overlapped. Reading comprehension is not it tonight.

const [locks, keys] = require('fs').readFileSync(0, 'utf-8').split(/\r?\n\r?\n/g).filter(v => v.length > 0).map(s => s.split(/\r?\n/g).filter(v => v.length > 0)).reduce((acc, s) => {
    const lock = s[0].split('').every(v => v === '#');
    const schema = s.slice(1, -1);
    let rotated = [];
    for (let i = 0; i < schema[0].length; i += 1) {
        for (let j = 0; j < schema.length; j += 1) {
            if (!rotated[i]) rotated[i] = [];
            rotated[i].push(schema[j][i]);
        }
    }
    if (!lock) {
        rotated = rotated.map(v => v.reverse());
    }
    const pinHeights = [];
    for (const row of rotated) {
        const height = row.indexOf('.');
        pinHeights.push(height !== -1 ? height : 5);
    }
    if (lock) {
        acc[0].push(pinHeights);
    } else {
        acc[1].push(pinHeights);
    }
    return acc;
}, [[],[]]);

let fits = 0;
for (const lock of locks) {
    for (const key of keys) {
        let overlapped = false;
        for (let i = 0; i < lock.length; i += 1) {
            if ((lock[i] + key[i]) > 5) {
                overlapped = true;
            }
        }
        if (!overlapped) {
            fits += 1;
